#36 WILL be on vol.8. RT ThatÂ’s good news. So far, almost all of Weiss's sonatas (from London Dresden) have been recorded at least once. The two exceptions, to my knowledge, are nos. 36 and 47. Patience, it appears, is sometimes rewarded. Other (very) new Weiss recordings, by the way,

Anyway, that piqued my curiosity . . . I assume that by far the major cost component in any lute is labor, but how high could the raw material costs be for an outstanding specimen of a large lute? Go to Google (or other search engine) and type tonewood. This will show dozens of firms that

Very soon the LSA will be selling that CD as part of the CD project we advertise in the Quarterly. We will be adding the 2 CDs by Bob Barto that are not on Naxos to the project - I do not have the price for them yet, or the stock, so I cannot sell these yet. However, in about a month these

Hi Eugene, Ah, the versatility of the grand staff... In general Dalla Casa seems to say mandolino when he means the instrument with five courses... his tuning chart confirms this. He uses the term mandola for only one piece, and the low sixth course would be required for this piece. That said,
